Summary

The New York Times bestselling author of The First Bad Man returns with an irreverently sexy, tender, hilarious and literary novel about a woman upending her life

All Fours Summary

All Fours by Miranda July

A 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR PICK FOR BBC R4 OPEN BOOK, THE OBSERVER, GQ, GRAZIA, HERO, I-D, NYLON

A semi-famous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country from LA to NY. Thirty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, beds down in a nondescript motel and immerses herself in a temporary reinvention that turns out to be the start of an entirely different journey.

Miranda July's second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July's wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman's quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic and domestic life of a 45-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectations while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.

All Fours Reviews

A guidebook to female liberation * * Telegraph * *
July comes into her own [and] brings a new perspective . . . A menopause novel that's never boring * * Sunday Times * *
A fresh, oestrogen-fuelled take on the midlife crisis, but the prose is smart, sharp and deliciously readable. It's sexy, it's funny, but it's also warm and tender in the best ways * * Prospect Magazine * *
A witty, raw tale about freedom and reinvention * * i * *
A giddy, bold, mind-blowing tour de force by one of our most important literary writers. Funny, honest, rich with the energy of the mind, All Fours will jump-start your relation to language and cause you to think anew about the nature of desire -- GEORGE SAUNDERS
All Fours is profound and bawdy and deeply human, a brilliant work of art from a completely blown open and fearless mind -- EMMA CLINE
I found myself reading All Fours in solitude because as I read, I'd started making sounds that were recognizably laughter but were also expulsions of heartbreak and what I'll call a cleansing sorrow . . . If the United States had the good sense to name National Treasures, I'd nominate Miranda July -- MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM
So bloody brilliant, dark, frank, funny, honest, a whirlwind of rage and longing . . . A revolutionary book filled with passion and rebellion -- SALENA GODDEN
A witty, wise, profound, profane and gloriously celebratory portrait of the emotional and hormonal rollercoaster that women often unwittingly board in midlife. Surprising and subversive it's impossible to put down, and lingers in the imagination long after you've reluctantly devoured the final page -- MARIELLA FROSTRUP
Equal parts painful, poignant, hilarious and extremely hot, All Fours is unlike anything else I've read about this life stage. It's a total game changer. Read it - whether you're hurtling off the oestrogen cliff or not! -- SAM BAKER
